He saw those spirits freed from stain:

“Well done! great Prince of men, well done!

Thy kinsmen bliss and heaven have won.

The sons of Sagar mighty-souled,

Are with the Blest, as Gods, enrolled,

Long as the Ocean's flood shall stand

Upon the border of the land,

So long shall Sagar's sons remain,

And, godlike, rank in heaven retain.

Gangá thine eldest child shall be,
